Did anyone else catch the Glenn Beck Show the other day when he interviewed Sam Webb, National Chair of the Communist Party USA?

This guy gave a speech delivered at a Peoples Weekly World forum in Cleveland, Ohio, January 31, 2009, "A New Era Begins" on how the Communist agenda is being fulfilled by Obama, how the President & Congress represents "something quite different" and calling him "the people's advocate".

"That said, the opportunities ... are extraordinary. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
In any case, we have our work cut out for us. But I think we can confidently say that change is coming. And we will build a more perfect union.
Yes, we can."

"It's not that government is inherently stupid, although that's a debatable question."
Rand Paul CPAC speech 2011

You might be a radical if you use these names in the same sentence "Karl Marx, Adolph Hitler, Osama bin Laden, Sadam Hussein, Carl Rove ".

Come on Carl Rove lumped in with these guys? You forgot to throw Bush and Reagan in there also.

If you can't beat them, demonize them.

Exaggeration regards,

Carl Rove wanted a permanent Republican majority. That is a one party state any way you slice it. Poland under Communist rule allowed other parties but kept them from rising to power by political arrests, harassment and manipulating elections. So does Robert Mugabe. Permanent majority parties and one party states are corrupted by absolute power and need to be periodically replaced.

Reagan did not promote one party permanent majority.

So are we going to lump Obama and the Dems in this group also. Does that mean we are currently under a one party system?

The Dems ruled congress for around 40 years, so by your reasoning was that a one party system?

Did the Republicans harass, manipulate or arrest a bunch of dems that I am not aware of?

The only true manipulation of elections has traditionally been done by the Dems. Can you say the Chicago Machine, Acorn and I can go on and on.

Seems to me that every party wants to rule or there would be not reason for a party.

I don't believe Rove wanted a one party system, he did want his party to win a majority.

Like I said, you may want to stop exaggerating.

What I said was I don't want to live in a one party state regardless of the author.

The end of the 40 year democrat rule proves exactly my point. We need a strong bi- party or multi- party system. The dem rule had become corrupt and I was very happy to vote my democrat congressman out. The dude was one of the most corrupt. Without another party the corruption would have been much prolonged.

Dems do not have a lock on chicanery. Remember Watergate and the enemies list?

I haven't seen it written in stone anywhere that Republicans are by nature more virtuous or better examples of the good than the rest of mankind. They put their pants on like the rest of us--They are subject to the same blandishments.

"Blandishments", A good word Sarge. One hears it infrequently. I'm sure though that the persuasive flattery, or cajolery, is more self-inflicted, whether one be R or D, than from without.
